Surfing is a practice that goes beyond slipping skillfully on wave crests. Those who dedicate themselves completely to this sport know that there is a ritual around surfing: studying the weather forecast, observing the waves with eyes still half closed by sleep, mastering the high tide and low tide timing, etc. This project called “Wipe out” (which in surfer's slang means falling off the surfboard when riding a wave), tries to show everything that happens outside the water and that is part of the surfer ritual from the point of view of a stranger who is not able to “take off” on the board.
